Obama Calls in Tech 'Surge' for Sickly Health Site

3 years ago

(NEWSER) – Noting that "the experience on HealthCare.gov has been frustrating for many Americans," the Obama administration is bringing in the "best and the brightest" from both the public and private spheres to shore up the troubled marketplace site, Health and Human Services officials say in a blog post. "We’re kind of thinking of it as a tech 'surge,'" an insider tells Politico. The team is rolling out "new code that includes bug fixes," "aggressively" monitoring the site's issues, and "deploying fixes to the site during off-peak hours on a regular basis."
